Does this thing warm your body up if you sit in the room?
Microwaves work on the water in the object it is warming. It might keep the
piano very stable as to it's own humidity. Try it and see. You won't have
the "cheap piano factor" cluttering up the test results. <G>
Most radiant heat systems are water pipes in the concrete slab floor. A very
even heat radiates from the slab. Temperature and humidity fluctuations are
minor compared to forced air or wood heat.
